Fencing has come into its own again, lt's quite obvious Why there are so many girls in the class. If the future farmers ot America have as much spirit and pep as the boys in this club, the U.

The Narcissus Alice Devine, Business Manager Thelma Wildman, Martha Evans, Sales Blake Coleman, Phil Hetzner, Norma Guempelein, Grace Guempelein, Marjorie Stodgell, Don Myers, Bob Bahney, lane Van Gilder, Marilyn Farrar, Lois Kerschner, Harriet Racobs, Robert Dotterer, Richard Hackley, Ads., Miss Hoffman, Miss DeBruler, Sponsors The above named persons constituted the capable and industrious business staff for the l940 Narcissus. The attainment of the business managership was placed on a competitive basis this year with the person who sold the highest number of ads before December lO to be named business manager. Alice Devine achieved this goal through hard work and appli- cation. Miss Hoffman organized the drive for subscriptions. Miss DeBruler was sponsor of the ad-selling staff and stated that they cooperated splendidly with her and had worked diligently. Seven members of the staff relinquished their ten-minute home room periods in the morning in order to make collections for the Narcissus payments. The local merchants and business men, lawyers, doctors, dentists, ministers, and private individuals contributed very liberally to the patrons' fund. Because of their generosity you were able to purchase your Narcissus at a lower cost per student. Last fall we sponsored a new type of auditorium for the promotion of the sale of annuals. It was in the nature of a radio program, written by the histrionic genius of Peru High School, our own Mr. Moore. A feature of the program was the amateur contest in which a number of talented students participated. The one who performed most meritoriously was awarded an appropriate gift of the l94O Narcissus as first prize.

Students in various class rooms in the new building-students en route to classes, organizations, novelty, and faculty pic- tures were taken with the modernistic entrance of the new building at West Sixth Street providing the background for many. ,V All students who were on the editorial staff are to be commended for their concentrated and whole-hearted application to their work. The write-ups this year are more informative than ever before. The editorial staff was responsible for this additional information for your enjoyment. Miss Arnold and Miss Finch were very patient and helpful in aiding with the revision of the articles. 300'
